UE Thematic and interdisciplinary projects

This UE Thematic and interdisciplinary projects is divided in 2 parts :

Part 1 : Quantum practicals on IBM-Q
Teachers : Julien Renard (CNRS) Matias Urdampilleta (CNRS)

Projects will be focused on the implementation of elementary quantum algorithms on superconducting quantum processors and simulators (IBM-Q). It relies on a “learning by doing” strategy. Developed skills: Python & quantum circuits.

Part 2 : Quantum seminars

A series of seminars (regular and extended ones) will complete the regular course offer during the fall semester.
For the academic year 2024-2025, the program (18 hours in total) is the following:

• 3 extended seminars (3 x 1.5 hours each)
  - Mechanical systems in the quantum limit, Jérémie Viennot (CNRS)
  - Spin Qubits with NV centers, Benjamin Pigeau (CNRS)
  - Modeling and Simulation for Spin Quantum Dots and Qubits, Yann-Michel Niquet (CEA)

• 3 regular seminars (1.5 hour each)

            - What is a PhD ? Olivier Isnard, Director of the Physics Doctoral School
            - Quantum Start-ups presentations.
            - Short presentations of PhDs students about their work.
